Game notes: The 14th edition of the QClash has plenty riding on it for both clubs. Gold Coast made the big move of sacking coach Rodney Eade on Monday night, putting the rest of the under-performing football department on notice there might be more changes to come. Just how the players respond to the adversity will be intriguing. On the other side, there’s the bottom-placed Lions, desperate for victory as they try to avoid the wooden spoon. The home team has been vastly improved in the past 10 weeks, as shown by last round’s narrow loss to the Western Bulldogs, but with just three matches remaining the Lions still sit a game plus percentage from Carlton and North Melbourne. The Lions upset Gold Coast in the opening match of the season, and with a vastly-depleted Suns outfit running out on Saturday, should be favoured to do so again.

Thommo’s Tip: Brisbane by 18 points.

Some AFL Fantasy positional changes have been revealed: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-12-01/assume-the-position-fantasy-positions-locked-in
Expect these to be the same in SuperCoach. And in case you’re wondering, the forward line is still rubbish 🙁

Uh oh… former Essendon ruckman John Barnes is leading a push to sue the AFL for the effects of concussion. This could get ugly. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/former-essendon-ruckman-john-barnes-leading-player-push-to-sue-afl-over-concussion-2017

International Rules: Fyfe spent a lot of time forward. There is speculation that this could continue into next year. At around $593K, he’ll still represent good value in the midfield, but it will be worth keeping this in mind.

In potentially SuperCoach relevant news, GWS has signed ex-Collingwood defender Lachlan Keeffe as a delisted free agent. He’ll be basement-priced next year, and can play at both ends of the ground. GWS has also floated the idea of him in the ruck.
